You've been very patient. Because it's been nearly a year since the Beatrice Inn shut its doors. And in that time you've been had...you've been hoodwinked, bamboozled and led astray by nefarious rumors of the next hot spark of a party. Well, the patience has paid off. And
material proof is in order... We present, for your long-awaited pleasure, the first shots of Kenmare: now open for private events.

Winter is a time of romance. A time of snow bunnies, huddling up with a bottle of scotch beneath cashmere blankets, and fireside chats. Or skipping the chats in lieu of more scotch and huddling up. Which brings us to Polar, your new wintertime underground lounge, fortress of solitude and Icelandic spirit bar complete with three VIP private ice caves perfect for unhurried winter evenings. To be clear, this is not the scene of your next post-work happy hour blowout.

Let's have a little fun. Let's start with a black door on an abandoned stretch of way west 21st Street. Let's bring in some big guns from food (Todd English) and nightlife (the brain trust from Norwood, the old Lotus and Greenhouse) and let them run wild. And just for a laugh, let's make the entire place look like the inside of a multicolored disco ball. Welcome to the explosive, Technicolor world of Juliet, a new mind-bender of a restaurant and lounge.

Today we'd like to topple some conventional wisdom. It's been said we're now living in a post-cupcake world. But join us as we pry open the lid of the cupcake trend coffin and draw your attention to what may be its last dying yet dignified breath. Introducing Red Velvet Lounge, opening Friday on the Lower East Side to facilitate the boozy cupcakes and opulent cocktail pairings you didn't know you needed. First, you should know that Red Velvet will not be your new favorite local watering hole—it's best to think of it as a key addition to your date-spot arsenal, a long, narrow Alice in Wonderland–looking fantasyland adorned with intricate custom molding all over the wall, smoked mirrors and huge ceiling portraits of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette (of "let them eat cupcakes" fame).

And so, here to change the game in the neighborhood with a truly remarkable attempt at assembling the best craft beers in the world is Amity Hall, a safehouse, temple and all-around congregation hall of beer.

There was a time when Vegas had a perfect mix of swank and swagger. A time when looking at someone the wrong way would get you tossed off the Hoover Dam and when Cirque du Soleil was a French cocktail waitress who introduced you to Sinatra. (Or maybe the other way around.) Friends, that time is back…only it's been moved to the East Village. Feast your pretty little eyes on The Summit Bar—a go-to neighborhood bar born by the veterans of the Mercer Kitchen, The Standard Miami and Minetta Tavern.

When the not-so-innocent words "debaucherous hookah den" are whispered, two words and two words only come to mind: Le Souk. But whether or not you have your own hookah there, you may have witnessed the insanity of the Sunday and Monday night blowouts and you've probably seen countless Euros decked in excessive Gabbana dropping gobs of money while under the rapt spell of a lithe belly dancer. So it's with a mixture of fear, anticipation, love and scorn that we bring you news that the legendarily excessive East Village den of iniquity is opening up shop a little farther west. And it's got a new name… Ladies and gentlemen, meet Le Souk Harem.

'Round this time of year, certain things make sense. Like, drinking outside all day. And drinking outside all night. Naturally. And not that you're necessarily about to go on an epic 16-hour beer bender, but it's good to know there's a new spot tailor-made to fight the good fight and while away languid long, hot, summer stretches… Introducing Berry Park, a massive barn with a massive-er roof deck built for one reason and one reason only: marathon rooftop German beer drinking, planning to open Friday in Williamsburg.

Another summer Friday comes to pass—the clouds have parted, and a gentle breeze is rolling in. So our thoughts yet again travel to the night, booze…and Ping-Pong. The location: a charming scene that's developed underneath the High Line at The Standard Beer Garden. Let's recap: only two months ago, André Balazs's Standard Grill opened its sumptuous doors. And not to sound petulant, but, well, we were promised a beer garden— a massive, tree-lined, brick-encased courtyard, with picnic tables and plastic furniture. A place where starlets could frolic about with beer, sausage and Ping-Pong paddles, and dreams would come true.

Now is a time of crumbling decadence. So it seems appropriate that on the far west side of the West Side—in a 100-year-old hotel that once
housed survivors from the Titanic—a spectacular three-room bar littered with exotic taxidermy, upholstered in velvet and basking in vintage opulence, is set to open for your cocktailing pleasure. Welcome to the fading grandiosity of The Jane Ballroom at Eric Goode and Sean MacPherson's (the Bowery Hotel, the Maritime Hotel) Jane Hotel, ready for action.

Bold, brazen and borderline illogical moves may be exactly what we need right now. Like, for instance, attempting to create the most opulent, selective, celebrity-fueled drinking dojo this side of Rose Bar. Okay, maybe we don't need it, but we're certainly not looking the other way. Welcome to The Gates, your new semi-private lounge/restaurant from Danny Kane and Rod Surut (Naked Lunch). It may help to picture the Gates as an early-1900s-style hotel lounge, but with the attitude of Soho House, Rose Bar and GoldBar rolled into one marble-encrusted crazybox.
